Seeing what it takes for #vowifi to work, all the different things the phone talks to, IPsec to EPDG, IPsec to P-CSCF, AKA auth everywhere, SIP for call establishment and sending SMS messages. There's so many moving parts in modern mobile network! Big respect to those who understand how that all […]

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@malwaretech/115702704948762818 Nowadays I blame either the adblocker or the target service for outages. I am quite lucky to have a pretty stable internet connection, and if that fails, mobile hotspot through a different carrier.

I often forget you can send MMS messages to an e-mail address. Don't know why one would do it nowadays, but I suppose it could be convenient occasionally. Can't reply back to them though.

In case you were wondering how networking happens in rootless #docker, found a pretty good article with examples about it: https://medium.com/@dsoplanner/investigating-docker-rootless-mode-networking-2cbf563df0cd

With the shutdown of #3g and most of #2g in #sweden, I lost the ability to make phone calls on my roaming SIM card altogether. Not that I do it much, very rarely in fact, but would be cool to be able to do it. My carrier seems to have an ePDG, so #vowifi could be an option. And then I found out […]

Quite spot on with #macos, but honestly just as well with most tech out there today. Error messages are hidden, "tech support" is utterly clueless most of the time https://mjtsai.com/blog/2025/12/03/losing-confidence/

Apple's download servers are so unpredictable sometimes. One day I can be downloading IPSW at almost line rate, another day (like today) it barely reaches 2 MB/s.

Ah right, it's the National Honk Day day! #sweden

Does anyone know if #zootopia2 was rendered/mastered/printed in 4k? Went for an IMAX screening, and subjectively it looked like 2k, pretty blurry for a screen this size (in contrast to most of the promos prior to the actual film). #zootopia #zootropolis2 #zootropolis

An open letter: stop spreading outdated advice about internet security https://www.hacklore.org/letter All this is BAD ADVICE. Don't… • Avoid public WiFi • Never scan QR codes • Never charge devices from public USB ports • Turn off Bluetooth & NFC • Regularly “clear cookies” • Regularly […]

Is there a name for the practice of vibe coding software that is deployed directly to production? I think it should be called DevSlops. #vibecoding #devslops

#kobo Clara BW doesn't support 5 GHz DFS channels despite the regulatory domain allowing for it. Wish me luck to reach anyone knowledgeable about the firmware internals. So far it's two human robots parroting things like "clear Wi-Fi settings", "rename your SSID" etc. #ereader

[Tech support rant] Why do I have to prove stuff to tech support EVERY TIME. No matter which company, the people on the other side are utterly incompetent. "Our devices don't support 5 GHz" Why do your tech specs say "dual-band, 2.4 and 5 GHz" then? "Your Wi-Fi name has an underscore" No it […]

Some day I'll remember whether DHCP uses UDP port 67/68 or 68/69, but today is not that day.

@arch Saw this on the Floofy.tech public Grafana, can't unsee it, so I have to let you know :> Smol typo, "databse"

That's a new one. Reminds me of this guy.

after listening to a lot of radio digital modes, I wonder, are there any songs out there that secretly contain data? like, not stuff with a blatantly obvious Morse code overlay or images in the waterfall but like, Actual real data signals hidden inconspicuously into songs.

In #iOS there's been this move to move search fields to the bottom of the screen to make them more reachable. It started with the address bar in #safari a few major versions back, and now iOS 26 moves the search bar down in more and more apps. I understand the motivation, but gosh, my muscle […]

We should have a dedicated HTTP error code for when cloud things break, so we know our servers are not at fault. #cloudflare #aws #http

I do feel like MS/Azure, AWS, and Cloudflare need to do a better job of coordinating their outages so some of yall can get some much needed time away from IT

I don't host anything important behind #cloudflare, but sounds like this is a good push to get rid of it altogether. Move DNS to deSEC maybe, and host things myself directly. Have to deal with a dynamic IPv4, but hey, at least it's public and not CGNAT.

Four years since Apple figured we give free support to their users. https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/11/18/free-apple-support/

There goes #cloudflare

mastodon should fix the bug where typos are invisible in the editing box but obvious on the timeline

It looks like I can request multiple (dynamic) public IPv4 addresses on my home connection 😮 That opens me to potentially having multiple independent setups: one for providing stable service for others at home, another for labbing. I think I should probably check with tech support what's the […]

Holy Shit, #valve did a product launch in 2025 and did not mention AI a single fucking time. So refreshing.

Looks like in one of the recent #1password Linux updates they've finally fixed the Quick Access popup not showing up on Wayland, finallyyy \o/

> There will be scheduled downtime to update our backend to allow for IPv6 support and we want to give users early notice to prepare for this. - FurAffinity downtime advisory furries have ipv6 now, terrifying

Wow, even FurAffinity gets IPv6 before GitHub

#telenor seems to be moving Swedish IP prefixes from AS2119 to AS8434, noticeable uptick today

Noticed today that #macos has the "Vehicle Motion Cues" feature, where it displays moving dots to help reduce motion sickness. And it works! So my #macbook has an accelerometer I didn't know about. Wonder if it's used for anything else 🤔

TIL about https://macos-defaults.com/

Ooh fun, #firefox used a bit too much memory, so #systemd-oomd decided to kill my entire desktop session. Looks like this is up to distribution maintainers to correctly compartmentalise applications to prevent one from bringing everything else down. One would think #ubuntu would already have […]

I have a different thing, wonder if anyone else does. *in a good mood, feels nice* *feels a bit too nice* Did I forget that I had to do something? Ugh, of course, that annoying thing! *mood no longer good* re: https://birdbutt.com/@colinstu/115449644759902483

I have a suspicion uBlock Origin Lite for #safari #macos stopped working after the latest update. Although not sure if it's because of the extension update itself, or me upgrading to macOS 26.1 RC.

Big news today as we announce Architecture Variant support for #ubuntu! This change means as of today, users of 25.10 can get access to packages built specifically for amd64v3, with more packages and variants coming soon. This sets the scene for some excellent performance improvements in […]

my favorite thing is Jason Donenfeld trolling people on the wg mailing lists asking for wg with no encryption

[AI/LLM reference] When people have the natural urge to correct everyone who they think is wrong, especially on the internet, seeing "you are absolutely right" is as big of a red flag as it can be.

Advent of Code will be running fewer puzzles per year from now on, due to the effort involved being unsustainable. It will also be removing the global leaderboards (private ones remain). People were definitely always super toxic about the global leaderboard, but I have to assume that people […]

Uh, so ... if you want to install a modern Linux / BSD / etc on a Pentium 4 system, or any system with a BIOS that doesn't support booting from USB, but _does_ support booting from CD-ROM ... ... the Plop Boot Loader (either standalone, or as part of its […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Something not quite right with #firefox 144 snap on #ubuntu. Did not restore any tabs upon start, and the bookmark bar is empty. Reverting to 143 (and --allow-downgrade) fixes it for now. Wonder if it's just me.

> Minimalistic editor color theme Almost no contrast I really can't stand this kind of "minimalism". Guess what, I actually want to identify UI elements without mental strain from having to parse the gray on slightly lighter gray.
